Diana logs
Made a small change in the job that does the cycle of the logfiles, in order to cycle the Apache logfiles: set the commands to SYS$MANAGER:APACHE$CONFIG in uppercase, because the default setting on Diana is to keep case, and this procedure will take the parameters as-is - will not change case before comparison, so nothing would happen.
Also created a commandprocedure to show all versions of the logfiles as hyperlinks, and added the execution into the scan-procedure; next, this adapted version has been submitted. We'll see tomorrow if it works.
New web setup
Downloaded a number of products that are know to work (directly, or with minor adjustements) on VMS. Have them installed on Athene to get an idea what is look like, how it works, without interrupting normal processing. All use MySQL as a database, and are written in PHP; all look promising. Next is to make a basic set-up , next install new MySQL and the products I want to use, and make the new web public.
Another internet mail client
Yahmail's successor is here: SOYMAIL, by the same author. Downloaded and installed it - had to do some adjustements since I do not install directly under APACHE$COMMON. It all seems right but for some reason, it always shows:

Fatal soyMAIL Error: Insufficient privilege or objectprotection violation.

Next, I enabled logging according the manaul and got some output but that didn't help either. Contacted the authoer for help.
